✦ Synopsis

A study was performed to derive a strategy for the measurement of representative office noise indices, such as Leq. L., etc., by comparing shortduration samples with whole-day measures. The study was performed using dosimeters in 12 office locations with different activities.

For the locations measured, it was found that short-duration measurements can provide reliable estimates of whole-day noise levels. Five-or 15-minute samples collected shortly before or after noon break would best represent whole-day L,q and some L. levels.

Measurements of the overall noise level, and of the noise produced by a small office machine in 1/3 octave bands from 100 to 12,500 Hz were made in the Liverpool University reverberation room. The noise produced on the A scale was also measured. From the measurements, the A scale level and the frequ
